NHS colleagues in applause tribute to nurse who died after Covid-19 infection

Colleagues of an NHS nurse who died after contracting Covid-19 have given a round of applause across wards to pay tribute to her.

Janice Graham died on Monday, becoming the first nurse in Scotland to die as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

The “bubbly and loving” 58-year-old was employed as a healthcare support worker for NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC).

Colleagues organised a mass round of applause to be videoed in her honour on Thursday.

It was later posted online by a Twitter account linked to trade union Unison.
